The Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche plates will be available starting Jan. 1, 2012. The application includes a one-time $45 donation to Kroenke Sports Charities, in addition to the other motor-vehicle registration fees that apply.

Proceeds from the specialty sports plates will go toward Kroenke Sports Charities, which provides more than $1 million in funds and in-kind donations to hundreds of Colorado schools and non-profit organizations each year.

“Our goal is to win, but our hope is to make a difference,” Karl said. “Professional sports teams, coaches and players have an opportunity to touch the lives of our fans both on and off the court. Hopefully we can use our ‘celebrity status’ to make our community stronger.”

“We’re hopeful that sales of the signature license plates will allow us to increase our support of many worthy and much needed non-profits throughout the state,” said Deb Dowling, KSE vice president of community relations and fan development. “It also gives Nuggets and Avalanche fans a unique opportunity to show their loves for our teams.”
